No such viewers exist. :-)

Is there actually somebody that still uses a text mode IDE for day to
day development? I couldn't justify spending any time on enhancing a
text mode IDE, especially since there are thousands of better GUI text
editors or GUI IDE's out there.

I remember using OS/2 years ago, and from memory the OS/2 API
documentation (*.inf files) used many windows open at the same time in
the VIEW program. I cannot see how that can ever be converted to
something that will work in the textmode IDE. Plus you will also loose
any bitmap images/screenshots in any such help files (INF, CHM, HLP,
HTML etc).
